How does mediation work in Ritchie County?

The county seat is Harrisville. Ritchie County sits in the Third Judicial Circuit with Doddridge, Pleasants and Wirt Counties and in the Fourth Family Court Circuit with Calhoun, Gilmer and Roane Counties.[2] Mediation is required by law when parents fail to agree on a parenting plan, except where the family court's pre-mediation screening indicates otherwise.[3][1] Parents pay hourly on a statewide sliding scale, from $65 (combined gross income under $30,000) to $180 ($100,000 and above); those with an approved affidavit of indigency pay nothing.[4] On the civil side, statewide Trial Court Rule 25 allows referral to mediation, and if the parties do not pick a mediator within 15 days, the court assigns one from the State Bar listing.[5] The 13 listings below come from the Supreme Court's court-approved family court mediator list for Ritchie County.[1]
